The goal of this project was to research and create a timeline on the history of type design. Special attention to serifs, proportions, x-heights, and stroke weights are highlighted in each era. Parallel design movements are also incorporated to show type application in its time.

Timeline Humanist Era

Centaur has a low contrast between thick and think lines which leaves the page dark and heavy. Te letters are wide im comparison to their x-height. The oblique stress of the “o”, steeply angled serifs, also define Centaur.

The goal of this project was to develop an eye for the spacing within words. Becoming familiar with optical letter space allowed designers to produce the eye pleasing pieces and allows the word to act as an image. We were assigned both upper and lower case letters of serif and sans serif fonts along with both black and block out letters for the upmost practice.

The goal of this project was to convey a sequence of events, to impart action in a static medium, to convey content through pacing and context. Attention to pacing of form to counter-form, scale, and rotation were met trough a total of 4 stages. I selected the lowercase Clarendon g due to my interest in its unique serif.

Letter Sequence Final Selection

Through a series of defined parameters, content is analyzed, dissected and composed to provide hierarchy and clarity to facilitate and enhance communication. A synthesis of form and content is the aim to expand the visual and verbal semantic expression.

The goal of this project was to recognize the relationships between the forms and counterforms of the letters in the Univers 65 family. Provided with 6 shapes, we placed the letters on them in a way that emphasized their, either contrasting, or uniform qualities. Variation of size and rotation were encouraged.

Phase 1 | Studies Univers 55 (1 letterform/numeral + 1 shape)

Phase 1 | Studies Univers 65 (1 letterform/numeral + 1 shape)

Phase 2 | Studies Univers 65 (1-2 shapes + 2 letterforms, 1-2 shapes + 2 numerals, 1-2 shapes + letterform/numeral)

The objective of this assignment was to gain experience in developing a visual system in real-world application. Through several phases, a stationary system and specific typographic usage is created. The final logo selection from phase 5 is used to create a consistency between a set of stationary including a letterhead, businesscard, and poster.
